According to the UK's Hello! magazine, the royals who reside at London's Kensington Palace usually travel by helicopter. But, apparently, the helicopter takes off and lands in nearby Hyde Park — not directly on the palace's grounds — to avoid a media frenzy. The Duke and Duchess of Cambdirge or Duke and Duchess of Sussex then travel by a chauffeured car in and out of the gates of their home, which are surrounded by armed guards.

Though the whole process may seem a tad extravagant, it's mostly about safety and discretion. Kate, William, Harry, and Meghan already create enough of a royal fan frenzy when they step out in public, so they have to be able to come and go from their home easily and in as low-key of a manner as possible.

According to the family's official website, the palace also houses the residences and offices of the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester (aka Queen Elizabeth's cousin Prince Richard and his wife, Birgitte), the Duke and Duchess of Kent (aka the Queen's cousin Prince Edward and his wife, Katharine), and Prince and Princess Michael of Kent (aka another of the Queen's cousins and his wife, Marie).
